Whenever formations and positions are discussed I often see confusion regarding the DM position.

I have read something like: Pogba is not actually a DM, weak defensively, more of a box to box CM.

Herrera is too reckless, can't tackle.

Schneiderlin was poor last season because he played a more box to box role in Southampton.

Carrick controls the game with his precise passing, not a good tackler.

Schweinsteiger is a midfield general or whatever, controls the tempo, you can't really call him a DM.

So who exactly is our DM, if indeed such a position is pivotal in how our team shapes?
